K'yohko's ears flicked with the sound of the returning huntresses. The grass and the wind spoke of a mostly successful hunt. But there was something else now that drew the Nunh's attention. He breathed out softly as K'ile's ringing words reached his ears. How long had it been since the last challenge? Five years? Six years? And of all the people to challenge him, it had to be K'ile Tia. He remembered their conversation from earlier, and shook his head. He supposed he owed the man the fight.
His broad heavy form stood slowly and slipped out from his tent, moving silently across the new terrain to stand at the light of the fire's edge. His eyes watched K'ile closely, not announcing his presence or giving any weight to his challenge yet.
K'luha remained by her tent, lamenting over her possible missed opportunity. Her hip ached faintly from all the standing, but otherwise she felt a bit better than she had in some time. Her ears perked with the return of the huntresses, and she picked herself up to quickly trot over to the fire light. The kills were bountiful, and the girls mostly unharmed. It was a good hunt. K'luha only wished she could have hunted as well.
Her head turned towards a familiar dancing flame as it called her name and gave a short smirk.
"Right here K'ile." she answered smoothly, stepping forward when she noticed Tahj. "Tahja, come here." K'luha called again, waving her adopted daughter over.
